The Museum is currently developing Living History workshops for schools so that pupils can learn more about the past in an interactive and enjoyable way.
Three Living History workshops have been devised so pupils can learn more about the past in an interactive and enjoyable way. Two workshops are based on life in Victorian times and one looks at World War Two. They cost £1 per head each.
The 19th century workshops transport students to the dark days of the Irish Potato Famine to see what life was like in the Newry Union Workhouse of 1847. They can also enter a Victorian school room where they will be met with strict discipline and the threat of the cane!
Pupils can help keep Newry and Mourne safe during World War 2, as they are learn how to be Fire Guard Messengers. They will be instructed on Blackouts, Gas Masks, and what to do during air raid. They will also help with evacuees new to the area and learn about the importance of rationing.
Some of the feedback received from teachers and pupils was positive as one student said "I really believed we were talking to these people from long ago. The Workhouse Matron was quite scary". A teacher commented that "The whole experience was excellent.
Please telephone 028 3031 3178 for more information
The free tour of Newry and Mourne Museum will now commence at 3pm every Sunday.

The exhibitions provide an overview of the history and the diverse range of objects relating to the development of the region from 9,000 years ago to the present day.
Architectural features from the history of Bagenals Castle and the adjoining 19th-century warehouse have also been integrated into the Museum exhibition layout.
There are also two temporary exhibitions on display which deal with various aspects of Newry and Mourne's history.
Group numbers are limited to twelve.

Today 14th November 2014, the Mayor of Newry and Mourne District Council, Councillor Daire Hughes launched a new 1970s and 1980s themed reminiscence box.
The box was developed in response to demand, particularly from groups with younger clients. Speaking about this, Noreen Cunningham, Museum Curator, said; Our Reminiscence loan box service is extremely popular throughout the district, and further afield. Museum Assistants, Joanne Cummins and Dympna Tumilty, have designed the new box to help people recall memories and promote discussion amongst those who use the box.
Packed full of objects from the 1970s and 1980s, including a Rubiks Cube and Soda Stream, the box is available for use by local care homes, healthcare professionals, community groups and individuals, and can be used to get people talking about their memories.
Many of us who lived through these decades, sported a mullet haircut or Farrah Fawcett flicks, wore power suits or shell suits and wondered who shot J.R., and this box will help stimulate those memories.
Other reminiscence boxes available from the Museum include; Household, School Life, Grooming and Fashion, Earning a Crust, Rural Life, 1940s and 50s and Christmas.
The boxes are accompanied with a resource file with useful suggestions, poems, stories and reading lists. Each box of 'memories' contains everyday objects that can be used as memory triggers for different types of reminiscence activities.
Museum staff are trained in reminiscence techniques and can advise on how to use the box and its contents.
If you are interested in borrowing a reminiscence box, contact Declan Carroll on 028 3031 3178, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Today Mayor of Newry and Mourne District Council, Cllr. Daire Hughes opened a new temporary exhibition All Politics is Local at Newry and Mourne Museum, which explores the development of local government in the area over the last two hundred years.
The exhibition commences with the establishment of the Newry Police Commissioners in 1828, the Town Commissioners in 1865, the introduction of Urban and Rural District Councils in the 1890s, the setting up of Newry and Mourne District Council in 1973 to the re-organisation of local government in 2015.
The panels and the accompanying booklet cover a wide range of issues, from national events affecting local government in Newry and Mourne through to the individuals that have had a lasting impact on the development of this district.
Also on display are documents and artefacts highlighting the important role the various councils played in everyday life, from responsibility for the provision of electricity to the allocation of housing.
With the establishment of Newry, Mourne and Down District Council, it is timely to look back at local government in the area formerly administered by Newry and Mourne District Council says Noreen Cunningham, Museum Curator at Newry and Mourne Museum. One of my favourite items on display is the c. 1950s ballot box that was used for elections in St. John Bosco Hall on Kilmorey Street, but there are many other items which will spark memories for those who visit the exhibition.
The exhibition, which runs until 28th February 2016.
The exhibition is open free of charge. For further details, contact the Museum Curator on 028 30313182 or Assistant Curator on 028 30313177.
Newry and Mourne Museum has developed a travelling exhibition on "Newry and Mourne in the Great War".
It consists of five pop-up stands and covers
(1) Recruitment & Service
(2) The Home Front
(3) Women & Children
(4) Political Developments

It tells the local story of the impact of the First World War, with references to Bessbrook, Jerretspass, Kilkeel, Newry, Newtownhamilton, Rostrevor. and Warrenpoint, etc.
The exhibition can be hired by calling 028 3031 3182/3178 or emailing email@example.com.
Newry and Mourne Museum's newest exhibition The world has become smaller: transport through the ages in Newry and Mourne is now on display until 2nd May 2016.
The exhibition explores the development of transport in the area from prehistoric times to the present day. A range of artefacts and documents examining aspects of road, rail, canal and maritime transport will be on display. These include models of local ships, a theodolite used for surveying the Newry Canal and a uniform belonging to Captain John McParland, a member of a local maritime family.
Highlights of the exhibition include artefacts and images relating to Warrenpoint Railway on loan from Barrie Domleo. He and his brother Andrew photographed and filmed Warrenpoint Railway Station and line from 1961 until it closed in January 1965. Many of the images contain photographs of people who worked at the Station including George Walker, the last Signalman at Warrenpoint. His cap and pocket watch have been lent to the exhibition by his daughter Pauline Reardon. She and Barrie Domleo met up last year as part of BBC NIs Walk the Line programme.
The exhibition is free of charge and for further details, contact the Museum Curator on 028 30313182 or Assistant Curator on 028 30313177.
The 2015 Famine Commemoration will take place on Saturday, 26th September, in Newry. This is the eighth year in which the Great Famine has been marked with a formal Commemoration and the first time that the Commemoration will take place in Northern Ireland.
In recognition of the fact that the Great Famine affected all parts of the island, the location of the annual Commemoration has rotated in sequence between the four provinces since the first Commemoration took place in Dublin in 2008 and falls to Ulster in 2015.
Newry, Mourne and Down District Council has put together an extensive programme of activities.
For more information on these events please copy the following link into your web browser.
As part of the events organised by Newry, Mourne and Down District Council to commemorate the Great Famine, Newry and Mourne Museum would like to invite you to take part in the following activities.
From 21st - 25th September there will be five day history course titled Understanding the Impact of the Great Famine in Ulster facilitated by Dr Gerard MacAtasney. The course aims to address the misconception that Ulster was immune to one of the greatest human disasters of the nineteenth century. This will run between 1pm - 3pm.
Dr. Fionntán DeBrun will give a talk on 22nd September at 7.30pm on The Great Famine and the Irish language. The Great Famine is generally regarded as having dramatically precipitated the decline of the Irish language. This talk will consider this linguistic landscape as part of an examination of how Irish speakers reacted to the crisis as it unfolded.
There will be a short course from 29th September 1st October that will examine Irish Migration: The Famine and After. Dr Grainne McEvoy will present an overview of Irish migration, looking at the generation of migrants who left Ireland during the Famine within the context of the much longer history of emigration from the Island, and the legacy of the Irish Diaspora. This will run between 3pm - 5pm.
These events form part of an extensive programme of activities organised by Newry, Mourne and Down District Council for the 2015 Famine Commemoration taking place 26th September in Newry.
All activities are free of charge, but pre-booking of places is advisable. If you wish to book or you require more information please telephone 028 3031 3178 or email email@example.com

Mindful Mondays: How to Be Present and Win July 13 2015 one response
We are all familiar with the phrase, "You must be present to win." Here's a story from one of my clients, Jessica, about how that idea can play out in real life.
"I made dinner for my family last week. That usually happens like once a quarter. But I've been thinking about and doing things differently lately and decided on the way home from work that I was going to leave my phone in my purse and just be present with my family for three hours. I made a quiche. The great thing about making quiche is you just use whatever is your fridge – the vegetables you weren't going to use, the leftover breakfast sausage, fresh eggs. You put it all in a pan and bake it. It couldn't be easier. While the quiche was baking, I goofed around and had fun with my daughter. I use Instagram as a kind of gratitude journal. I post pictures of things I'm grateful for. My quiche was very photogenic so I posted it. It wasn't just the quiche, though, it was gratitude for dinner with my family and fun with my daughter. I was so grateful to stop and take time to appreciate the goodness in my life."
Jessica is one of around 30 participants in a Developing Leadership Presence program I'm doing for rising leaders at a well known Fortune 500 company. Like a lot of professionals, she's working in an environment of constant change that can quickly consume all of a person's time, attention and energy. Jessica shared her quiche story during a check-in video conference we had for the participants. They've all been working on practical ways to build their leadership presence. Almost all of them have also been working on being more present.
To help with that goal, all of the leaders have created a Life GPS® to get clear about how they are at their best, the routines that reinforce that and the outcomes that should result from showing up at their best. Those outcomes aren't just at work; they're at home and in the community too. When I asked everyone on the video conference to talk about what difference their Life GPS was making for them, what I heard about was making the choice to be present.
Jessica made a choice that evening to unplug and spend quality time with the people she loves most. Michelle talked about the dance parties she's been having with her pre-schooler in the early evenings. Susan talked about the choice she's made to spend her first 10 minutes after waking up each morning with her bare feet in the grass. She's found that doing that literally and figuratively grounds her. She used to start her day worrying about what was happening at work. Now she starts it by feeling grateful for the beauty of nature and the other good things in her life.
When I asked the group what kind of impact these personal choices were having on their work, just about everyone had a story about that too. James, one of the guys in the group said he's realizing that if he holds on to what he needs to do for himself to show up at his best, it helps his team. Another guy, Josh, said that the routines he's outlined in his Life GPS are "the only thing that's keeping me in the game. The difference for me is I can bring joy to the room at work rather than anxiety. That makes me feel like we've got a shot." Many of the leaders said they're sharing the Life GPS® with their team to show that they care about how the people they work with feel.
Stories like that are overwhelming – in the best possible way – for me to hear. I'd love to hear your story. If you've read Overworked and Overwhelmed: The Mindfulness Alternative and have been using the Life GPS®, let me know what difference it's making for you. If you've been thinking about using it or want some guidance with it, consider downloading a copy of the Life GPS® Personal Planner. No matter how you proceed, remember that you can make the choice to be present this week and win.
How to Be a Coaching and Mentoring Ninja June 10 2015 3 responses
One of the elements I love the most about our leadership development programs like Next Level Leadership® group coaching and Developing Leadership Presence is the peer coaching. In both of those programs, the participants are expected to pair up with a peer colleague and spend 20 minutes a week coaching each other.
That might sound complicated, but it's not. What I want them to do is to take ten minutes each to ask their partner questions that get them off the dance floor and onto the balcony. One of my favorite ways for them to do that is ask each other three questions:
- What's the most important meeting or conversation you're going to have this week?
- If that meeting is a wild, full-on success, what happens at the end?
- How do you need to show up to make that full-on success likely?
The beauty of that coaching model is that they don't have to know each other's business to help each other. In fact, I prefer that they not work in the same function, because I want them to draw the insights out of each other, not just give each other advice.
Coaching is a brilliant way to go when you want to help someone develop and act on their own insights. Mentoring, on the other hand, is a great approach when you want to share experience and knowledge that can help the other person leap frog their learning curve. The most effective mentors know that they have to go beyond saying, "Here's what I think you should do." Instead, they talk about times when they faced situations similar to the protégé's, how they thought through the situation, the approaches they tried, what worked and what didn't and what they learned from all of that. The ninja level mentors then flip into coaching mode by asking things like,
- What's the same or different about your situation?
- What have you tried so far?
- What else could you try?
- What are your next one or two steps?
- How can I help?
So, if you know the distinctions, you can be both a coach and a mentor. I find myself toggling between those roles in my work. When you think about it, you probably do in yours as well. They're not mutually exclusive roles; they're complementary roles.
From either the giving or receiving end, what are the ninja level coaching or mentoring moves that work for you?
What Makes It So Hard to Let Go? June 4 2015 one response
Five Simple Ways to Make Creative Thinking a Daily Habit May 27 2015 2 responses
Where or when do you get your best ideas?
I ask that question to a lot of clients and executives attending my presentations and seminars. The answers I often hear are things like "In the shower," "Walking the dog," "Working out," "On my commute," "Taking care of the yard," or "Cleaning the house."
But do you know what answer I never hear? "At my desk in front of my computer." In fact, when I ask if anyone gets their best ideas at their desk, everyone laughs because the very idea is absurd.
People hardly ever get their best ideas at their desks, and yet that's where most professionals spend most of the day. If it's not the desk, it's a conference table, and hardly anyone gets their best ideas there either.
The irony, of course, is that most of the great work any of us do depends on the sparks of insight and creativity that come when we're not actively focusing on a particular task or trying to solve a problem. We need to create and leave time for unconscious thought.
Mindful Mondays: Hug the One You're With May 4 2015 one response
As I was skimming through the headlines from the New York Times on Saturday morning, I was stunned to read the news of the death of Dave Goldberg. You may not have heard of him until this past weekend. He was the 47 year old CEO of the online questionnaire company, Survey Monkey. He was also the husband of Sheryl Sandberg, the Facebook COO and author of the mega best-seller, Lean In. Goldberg died while he was on vacation with his wife.
By all accounts, most especially Sandberg's in her book, Dave Goldberg was a great guy. It appears he was one of those people who spent his life encouraging others while doing interesting things himself.
It's a tragedy when anyone dies unexpectedly in the prime of life. What literally took my breath away when I read the news of his death was the stark reminder that tragedy can happen to anyone at any time. Power couples don't get much more powerful than Sheryl Sandberg and Dave Goldberg. Wealth, fame, friends, access, interesting work, a beautiful family, a vibrant marriage – they seemed to have it all.
None of that, of course, could protect them from the tragedy of sudden loss. When it comes to that, we're all in the same boat.
I've written a lot about being present in these Mindful Monday columns over the past month. What Are You More Likely to Remember? and What Do You Have to Share? are the two most recent examples. The subject of today's post is one more reminder to be present with the people you care most about.
Take some time today to hug the one you're with. There's not going to be a better opportunity than the one you have today. Don't wait.
What's the Difference Between Executive Presence and Leadership Presence? April 23 2015 7 responses
The title of this post is a question I was asked yesterday during an interview for the book summary service Get Abstract. (Audio excerpts from the interview will be available in a few months.) While I guess I've thought about the difference between executive and leadership presence over the years (I wrote a book on the latter after all), I have never had the question put to me that directly.
My answer was that, depending on the situation, executive presence can be a subset of leadership presence. As I unpacked my answer, the interviewer referred a couple of times to Don Draper of Mad Men as someone who embodies executive presence. As a fan of the show, I could see what she meant. No one wears a business suit better than Jon Hamm as Don Draper. When Don Draper is sober and in full pitch mode he embodies what the very traditional picture of executive presence looks like.
And that, in essence, is the difference between executive presence and leadership presence. The simplest distinction between the two is that executive presence is about how you look and leadership presence is about what you do. If you want to take it further, executive presence is about how you talk and leadership presence is about what you say when you do.
First impressions count so advice on executive presence often focuses on how one dresses, enters a room, makes eye contact in conversation and other behavioral nuances. The challenge with advising or coaching on executive presence is that one size doesn't fit all. Every person is different; organizational norms are different and cultures are different. What works in one setting doesn't necessarily work in another. As I wrote here earlier this month, it's possible to have too much executive presence. If you're too polished and too slick, you create distance. And the judgment on too polished and slick is in the eyes of the beholders. Because almost every leader is operating in a global context today (social media and web conferencing makes that the case even if you never leave your hometown), executive presence doesn't travel like it used to.
Leadership presence, on the other hand, is much more portable. That's because it's about the people and not the leader. Taking the perspective of the leader, it's about you, not me. As Harvard professor Dean Williams and I discussed in a recent audio interview on this blog, the most effective leaders use their presence to help the group identify the work to be done or the adaptive challenge to be overcome. They help set the agenda. They help organize the team. They coach. They ask questions that help people come up with their own answers. They encourage accountability. They celebrate success. They applaud effort. They help the team learn from failure, self-correct and move on. In all instances, the leader's focus is on them – the people.
So, those are some of the distinctions I'm making between executive presence and leadership presence. What do you think? What's the difference between the two? What's the impact of one vs. the other? What have I missed?
Three Signs That You Have Too Much Executive Presence April 9 2015 2 responses
It's common for leaders who want to make a bigger impact to work on building their executive presence. It's so common, in fact, that my company offers a seven month group coaching program for high potential leaders slated for executive roles. Our goal in that program is to make the often discussed but rarely clearly defined topic of executive presence a tangible and actionable thing to develop.
We try to move away from the "I know it when I see it," definition of executive presence by focusing on specific behaviors and tactics related to factors like showing up with an appropriate amount of confidence, tailored communications, building great teams and working with colleagues to get bigger things done. Along with all of that, we focus on the idea that it's possible to have too much executive presence.
Too much executive presence? How, you may ask, could that possibly be a problem? It's a problem when the leader's executive presence creates distance between them and the people they're leading or working with. In my experience, this usually happens when the leader puts too much emphasis on "executive" and not enough emphasis on "presence."
Is it possible that you have too much executive presence? Here are three signs that could tell you the answer may be yes.
Too Many Perks: If you find yourself grooving on the perks that come with an executive level title or perhaps viewing them as an entitlement or even taking them for granted, then you probably have too much executive presence. If you can't come up with a list of the perks that come with your job, that's a sure sign that you need to step back and look at things from a different perspective. Try looking at it from the perspective of the lowest paid people in your organization.
Too Many Meetings in Your Office: Do they come to you or do you go to them? If you're taking most of your meetings in your own office, that's a sign that you have too much executive presence. Again, look at it from their perspective. Is it possible that they feel like they're being summoned for an audience on a regular basis? And, by the way, what are you missing or overlooking by not getting out of your office?
Too Much Structure: So, yeah, you definitely need to have processes and systems in place that enable you to be accountable for results without having to be personally responsible for all of the results. Definitely put those in place, but don't over do it and don't put yourself as the focal point of the structure. It's not all about you. Too much structure that is focused on channeling information to you is a sign that you have too much executive presence.
What do you think? Is it possible to have too much executive presence? What are some other signs that a leader has too much executive presence?
What is the Creator's Code? March 26 2015 no responses
What do Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, Spanx founder Sara Blakely and Under Armour founder Kevin Plank all have in common? Amy Wilkinson has done the research and knows the answer. She shares it in her new book, The Creator's Code.
Wilkinson's book is based on what she learned in 200 interviews with entrepreneurs who founded and built companies that have generated at least $100 million in revenue for at least five years. Drawing on her training as a sociologist, she sifted through the transcripts of those conversations to identify the six skills that these entrepreneurs have in common. She shares those in The Creator's Code and she shared them with me in a recent conversation.
Even if you're not an entrepreneur with aspirations of starting your own multi-million dollar business, I think you'll want to listen to the recording. The skills that Amy has identified in her research are the skills that distinguish people who get big things done from those that don't in this new world of work.
Ten Ways to Lead Bigger March 19 2015 4 responses
As I wrote here a few months ago, the biggest development opportunity for many of the rising leaders I work with as an executive coach is to play a bigger game. Once a leader achieves a level of mastery in leading his or her functional team, the next step is to play a bigger leadership role (informal, formal or both) in the broader organization.
This dynamic has come up in a couple of coaching conversations I've had lately which prompts me to share these ten tips for how you or the rising leaders you work with can step up and lead bigger. The list that follows are based on ten of the 72 specific leadership behaviors in the 360 degree assessment that's based on my book, The Next Level: What Insiders Know About Executive Success.
Which ones present the biggest opportunity for you? Which ones would you like to read more about on this blog? Leave a comment and let me know.
1. Take time to get to know your peers and their interests.

Mindful Mondays: One Less, One More March 16 2015 no responses
We've all heard the phrase less is more. Perhaps it's also true that more is less. I think that's where Robbie Vorhaus is coming from with his recent book, One Less. One More. Follow Your Heart. Be Happy. Change Slowly.
Vorhaus is a well respected crisis expert and communications strategist with years of experience advising corporate leaders, government officials and celebrities about how to get things back on track when they've run off the rails. After years of building his business and reputation, Vorhaus found himself about to run off his own rails and decided to make a change.
More accurately, he began to make a series of changes. That process is what led to his book, One Less, One More. Profound in its simplicity, the big idea of the book is to commit each day to doing one less thing that keeps you from following your heart and one more thing that will enable you to do that. From there, it's rinse and repeat. It's one less thing and one more thing each day.
In the accompanying conversation (which is a little longer than most of my interviews), Vorhaus and I talk about what he's learned along the way, what it means to follow your heart and why it's best to change slowly. I think you'll find it thought provoking and perhaps life changing.

CommCreative helped RSA Conference 2015, the world's leading information security conferences and expositions, exceed this year's U.S. attendance goals by successfully developing and executing an integrated go-to-market strategy.
Demand marketing is "modern day storytelling", or a program that creates demand for a product or service using a combination of marketing strategies. It is an integrated mix of both traditional and digital marketing methods including content marketing, public relations, social media and influencer relations. Using these techniques together, rather than individually, establishes a more robust marketing program that generates more demand and delivers better results.
Digital marketing continues to be a top priority for both B2B and B2C companies as we get closer to the New Year. In fact, more than 50% of companies plan on increasing their digital marketing budgets by an average of 17% for 2015, according to Gartner.
Online video is one of the most powerful marketing tools right now, and just might be the future of content marketing. Video is everywhere and is proving to be an incredibly powerful marketing tool for many companies.
Marketing strategies are initially developed by starting with the normal research, objectives, strategies and tactics with the sole purpose of increasing the company's revenue and profit structure.
However, marketing plans are not about companies – they're about customers and what they experience that triggers a purchase and ultimate company loyalty. Therefore, the development of marketing plans -- or even singular promotional campaigns -- should start with the end, not the beginning.
Marketing and advertising, both traditional and online, are most successful when they entail every aspect of your business no matter what category you're in. Small details can make big impressions.
Content marketing is the key to increasing online visibility, brand awareness and lead generation. The Internet gives every business – despite size, location and geography - an equal opportunity to get as much visibility as it wants - at virtually no cost.
Digital marketing cannot be ignored, which is probably the reason why 55% of marketers increased their digital marketing budget last year. An estimated $135 billion is expected to be spent on new digital marketing collateral in 2014. Here are some of the top digital marketing trends to watch for next year and how B2B marketers can leverage these marketing strategies to boost business:
We see you've been looking around for a while. Would you like to talk to someone? Whether you're interested in increasing sales, jumpstarting your lead gen programs, or creating a new brand, we're here to help. Why not take the next step?

Expert opinions and treatment options
What are the real causes of lower back pain? Is it mostly due to aging and disc problems? While it is true that disc disease and spine arthritis become more common as you age (5) , doctors actually diagnose herniated discs or ruptured discs as a cause of lower back pain infrequently (2).
About 30% of lower back pain cases are given a specific diagnosis such as degenerative disc disease, herniated disc, spinal stenosis or scoliosis. Prolonged pressure on a nerve coming from the spine (nerve root) can trigger pain in many of these cases.
When pain from these causes of lower back pain is more severe, treatment from a health care provider may be necessary to relieve the pain. If your pain is severe or constant, please see your doctor for an examination.
Note: About 3% of lower back pain cases may involve serious medical conditions, including fractures, cancer, aneuryism, and kidney disease*
The other 70% of all lower back problems are diagnosed simply as lumbar strain or low back pain (LBP), without giving a specific reason for the pain (7).
What then are the causes of lower back pain for most people, this group of 70%? Rehabilitation specialists believe imbalances and poor movement in the sacroiliac (SI) joints and lumbar Z-joints (see below) are 2 of the major factors that lead to lower back pain. What would it take to cause these joints to become strained and dysfunctional?
Many people sit for hours in awkward, unbalanced body positions or have jobs that require repetitive movements. Given enough time, these activities can easily lead to stiffness and weakness in the lower back and hip muscles, especially for people who do not exercise regularly.
Once these hip and lower back muscles are not functioning normally, back movements and daily activities will become gradually more difficult and uncomfortable, straining the joints of the spine.
Reversing the causes of lower back pain
While it might not be possible to 'undo' severe arthritic changes in the spine, you can make your back feel much better with a new active lifestyle and a back exercise program. My most complete reference to date on caring for your back is the eBook, Correct Posture.
Has your back been uncomfortable recently? You can start with our exercises for lower back pain: a routine of gentle spine movements and stretches that relieve stress and discomfort in the back. Also see my lower back pain remedy article. It includes ergonomic recommendations for lying down, standing and sitting at your desk. There are exercises to relieve stiffness and you'll also learn the best position to relieve lower back discomfort.
The longer term solution: build an active lifestyle from activities you enjoy and include specific back stretching exercises and strengthening exercises into your weekly routine.

How to get your store's 'guests' to become 'customers'
One of the most common problems a store owner can have is the failure to spend enough time evaluating and observing customer behavior on the sales floor. Assuming suggestions I've made in past issues have sparked some ideas for driving traffic, you should be seeing more customers. But how do you actually get the sales needle, not just customer flow, moving in a positive direction?
How to maximize sales of gift products and ancillary add-ons
Gift giving is not subject to seasonal trends. Every month there are birthdays, anniversaries, births, marriages and more. There are, however, certain times of the year when gift giving is much more prevalent than others. Christmas, Graduation, Easter, Mother's Day and Father's day are only a few.
Accurate information helps your team serve customers well
Bad data can mean the loss of sales and customers. That's the bad news. The good news is you can do something about it.
Enjoy the benefits of price and community-based promotions
Christian retailers of the independent sort have one of the most challenging jobs in our industry. They have to juggle a few balls as they keep their business moving forward, stay in stock, manage people, maintain a physical location, serve customers and keep them happy and coming back.
How preparation in key areas can build your Christmas sales
Retail is busy no matter the buying season, but as any retailer knows, nothing compares to the Christmas season.

From Milwaukee, Madison and beyond, a daily dose of political news and glimpses behind the scenes
Tale of two parties
Asked if they are satisfied with the current field of GOP candidates, 49% of Republican likely voters said no and only 21% said yes. Among Democratic likely voters, only 18% said they were not satisfied with their party's presidential field, while 59% said they were satisfied.

In the same poll, Rudy Giuliani was the top choice of Wisconsin Republicans at 22%, followed by Tommy Thompson at 16%, John McCain at 16%, Fred Thompson at 10%, Newt Gingrich at 8% and Mitt Romney at 5%. (Fred Thompson and Gingrich are not announced candidates).

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Highly touted recruit Renaldo Balkman has
been accepted to South Carolina and the school said he is expected
to begin practicing with the team Thursday.
The status of the 6-foot-7 freshman forward had been in limbo
since last spring, but the school said it was informed Wednesday
the NCAA approved his appeal.
It is welcome news for South Carolina, which finished 12-16 last
season after reaching the NIT finals in 2002. The Gamecocks begin
the season Nov. 17 against Gardner Webb in the Guardians Classic.
"South Carolina was the only place I wanted to be. I was
determined to see this through and it has been worth the effort,"
said Balkman, who began half-semester classes Wednesday.
With Balkman's acceptance, South Carolina's roster becomes a
little clearer. Last week, South Carolina coach Dave Odom was
uncertain when Balkman and senior Rolando Howell, who pleaded no
contest to domestic violence Oct. 9, would be joining the team.
Howell was allowed to practice with the team during Midnight
Madness late last week, but was suspended for the first 10 regular
season games.
"I am so happy and relieved that Renaldo Balkman has earned his
eligibility," Odom said. "He has overcome so much and now he has
an opportunity to truly make something of himself as well as making
a significant contribution to the team."

Join Clean Energy Connections for our third event of 2015 – Advanced Energy Consumers: Customer Models Driving Utility Industry Change from the Edge-or stream it live (link to follow soon)!
The energy landscape is changing fast. As energy professionals race to keep up with constant technological innovation, they are also rapidly developing new methods of reaching energy customers. Customers are central to adoption of REV — they will be the ones purchasing solar, installing cogeneration, utilizing energy management systems, and deciding whether to participate in community-scale renewables.
Utilities, ESCOs, government agencies, and community-based organizations will have to create ways to increase awareness and adoption of DER technologies among the people who will eventually benefit from them. It's especially critical to engage low and moderate income customers in the dialogue and implementation, as they make up 40% of energy consumers in New York State.
This panel will discuss innovations in customer engagement, with an emphasis on community-level energy aggregation and web-based engagement models, including consideration of behavioral science. The discussion highlights the themes of REV's Customer Engagement Committee, charged with identifying and overcoming barriers to participation by all customer groups in the future energy landscape.
Opening Speaker:
Marsha L. Walton – Senior Project Manager, Market Insights Team, NYSERDA

Celebrate the renaming of Kara Kara National Park
Wednesday 2 October, 2013
Local residents and visitors are invited to celebrate the renaming of Kara Kara National Park.
Formerly known as St Arnaud Range National Park, the park was recently renamed following consultation with the community some time ago as part of the management planning process for the park.
The name 'Kara Kara' was chosen because it is the name of the former shire and also the former state park, which was included in the national park in 2002. Also it is understood to mean 'gold' in the Dja Dja Wurrung language, reflecting the gold mining history of the area.
"We're pleased to be unveiling the new name as it is one we think will resonate with the local community and people who care about this park," said Parks Victoria Ranger in Charge Western Goldfields Martin Woodward.
There was support for the name change from the Northern Grampians Shire, Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation, Barengi Gadjin Land Council, Stuart Mill Progress Association and various recreational groups and local residents.
"We now invite the community and park visitors to come and celebrate this name change with us," said Martin.
"We're planning a simple event to celebrate together with a BBQ lunch and short walk to inspect the recently completed repair and upgrade works to the Upper Teddington Reservoir within the park."
New signage will be progressively installed at all entry points and throughout the national park in coming months to ensure the naming of the park is consistent.
One of the new signs will also be unveiled as part of this event.
What: BBQ celebration and a short walk to inspect the works on the Upper Teddington Reservoir
Where: Teddington Camping Area, Teddington Road, Kara Kara National Park
When: 11am on Thursday 17 October 2013
RSVP: By 15 October for catering purposes to Parks Victoria on 13 1963.

The Barn (Avon Camelot Books)by Avi
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The schoolmaster says nine-year-old Benjamin is the finest student he's ever seen-fit for more than farming; destined for great things someday But his father's grave illness brings Ben home,from school and compels him to strive forsomething great right now — to do the one thing that will please Father so much he'll want to live. But first Ben must convince his older sister andbrother to work with him. And together, they succeed in ways they never dreamed possible.
In an effort to fulfill their dying father's last request, nine-year-old Ben and his brother and sister construct a barn on their land in the Oregon Territory.
About the Author
Ask Avi how you know when you're a real writer and his answer is simple: "I think you become a writer when you stop writing for yourself or your teachers and start thinking about readers." Avi made up his mind to do that when he was just a senior in high school.
Avi was born in 1937 in New York City and was raised in Brooklyn. Kids often ask him about his name. "My twin sister gave it to me when we were both about a year old. And it stuck." To this day, Avi is the only name the author uses.
As a kid, Avi says, he was "shy, not into sports, but someone who loved to read and play games of imagination." He did not consider himself a good student, though. "In elementary school I did well in science, but I was a poor writer. When I got to high school I failed all my courses. Then my folks put me in a small school that emphasized reading and writing." What made him want to become a writer? "Since writing was important to my family, friends and school, it was important to me. I wanted to prove that I could write. But it took years before I had a book published."
Avi didn't start off as an author of children's books but as a playwright. It was only when he had children of his own that he started to write for young people.
When asked if writing is hard for him, Avi gives an unequivocal YES. "But," he goes on, "it's hard for everyone to write well. I have to rewrite over and over again, so on average it takes me a year to write a book." Where does he get his ideas? "Everybody has ideas. The vital question is: What do you do with them? My wife, a college teacher, uses her ideas to understand literature. My rock musician sons shape their ideas in to music. I take my ideas and turn them into stories."
Avi's advice for people who want to write: "I believe reading is the key to writing. the more you read, the better your writing can be." He adds, "Listen, and watch the world around you. Don't be satisfied with answers others give you. Don't assume that because everyone believes a thing, that it is right or wrong. Reason things out for yourself. Work to get answers on your own. Understand why you believe things. Finally, write what you honestly feel, then learn from the criticism that will always come your way."Avi's many award-winning books for young readers include the Newbery Honor Books Nothing But the Truth and The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, as well as more Tales from Dimwood Forest, including Poppy, winner of the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award, Poppy and Rye, and Ragweed. His many other books include tales of mystery, fantasy, and historical fiction for young readers of all ages.

I ripped my Shimano RX100 off yesterday. The damage to the bike was minimal but it did bend my derailleur hanger (specialized FSR Elite) (may still be good) and ripped up some spokes. I am flat broke at the moment and only have a few dollars but I really want to go up to ride in Reading this coming Saturday. Does anyone have a RX100 or comparable derailleur for very very cheep? I seen some $10 new Derailleurs on eBay but I am worried about getting the stuff in time for the weekend. If someone can re-lace the bad spokes and true the wheel I can offer maybe $30 for the work. Or I can do something in return. I am an electronics technician and I know how to fix just about anything electronic or I can give in depth advice on a new TV....mow your lawn.... Help!!!!!

"They don't know how Steinbruck would manage the crisis, but they feel safe the way Merkel is doing it now and they don't have a reason to change," said another political analyst, Yvonne Schroth, a board member at Forschungsgruppe Wahlen, a top German polling firm.
U.S. spy scandal fallout
The NSA spying scandal is the one major blemish on Mrs. Merkel's otherwise impressive campaign resume, with privacy a major concern for German voters. But many say past Social Democrat governments cooperated in U.S. surveillance programs and Mrs. Merkel appears to be weathering the storm.
"The NSA issue, so far, is not influencing the elections," Mr. Sperling said. "They think it is a very, very important topic, but if you blame both sides, there is no winner, no loser."
The opposition last week also seized on comments by Mrs. Merkel's finance minister, Wolfgang Schauble, acknowledging that a third EU bailout package for Greece — with Germany footing much of the tab — will soon be necessary. Mrs. Merkel has tried to temper the acknowledgment.
Mr. Steinbruck, who was finance minister during Mrs. Merkel's first term, has his own problems. He has committed several damaging gaffes, the biggest of which has political analysts here calling him the "Mitt Romney candidate."
Shortly after the media revealed he took in a substantial side income giving speeches while serving in parliament, he made a snide remark in a newspaper interview that the chancellor's salary is too low.
Mrs. Merkel may be the clear favorite, Mr. Sperling said, but it is not so easy to figure out who will win in an election system where various postelection coalitions are possible.
The German government traditionally is made up of two parties that form a coalition and control the majority of the government. A handful of smaller parties that compete for the role of junior coalition partner have made the face of the next German government hard to handicap.
The TNS Emnid poll found that the leftist Greens, an environmental party, received 12 percent of support, while the Left Party, which has communist roots, came in at 8 percent and the business-friendly Free Democrats got 5 percent.
Coalition options
One option is another "grand coalition" between the Christian Democrats and Social Democrats, reviving the shotgun marriage that lasted from 2005 to 2009. Another is an alliance of Mrs. Merkel's and smaller parties to form a government based on election returns. As in past races, the election may hinge on the Free Democrats, who have served as Mrs. Merkel's junior coalition partner for the past four years.
Mrs. Merkel would prefer to continue ruling with the Free Democrats, but the party once again faces the hurdle of securing at least 5 percent of the vote needed to win representation in the Bundestag. Analysts agree that the Free Democratic Party tends to perform better on election day than in polls, which would indicate it will stay above the 5 percent threshold.
"The FDP is a really old party, so there are a lot of people who don't want them out," Ms. Schroth said.
Conservatives may resort to strategic measures to keep the smaller party in office. In fact, some Christian Democrat voters may cast their ballots for the Free Democrats simply to keep them in the government — a practice known as "loaning votes."

I was walking to work this morning, when I saw a guy sitting on a stoop smoking a cigarette watching me walk in his direction. I live and work in the city so I didn't think anything of it, and continued walking like a normal person. As I got closer to him and was about to pass, he started whistling at me. So, without hesitation, I let out my best obnoxious bird call, "CAW-CAW!! CAW-CAW!!" to give him a taste of his own medicine. I doubt he'll ever whistle at me again.
I have infinite experiences of verbal and physical street harassment with threatening, sexual undertones- but these occasions stood out to me.
I was at a festival with a group of my friends, the age demographic predominantly being about 16-21. At one point, as my friends were all in a tent, i lingered directly outside- packing some things in to my bag before i joined them. I was literally centimetres away from my group when a hulking man in his mid 30's- evidently stronger, bigger, and able to over power me if he wanted- entered my personal space and began saying "your friends have all left you, they told me to come and get you- come to our tent". Not only was this man clearly to old for the age demographic, which in itself made me feel uncomfortable, but he was actually lying to me in an attempt to get me to come to his tent. He had seen me in a vulnerable position, on my own, and taken the opportunity to try and deceive me into leaving with him. I felt genuinely threatened, as at that moment, it could have been possible for him to forcibly take me without anyone initially knowing or able to locate me. Considering the reports of rape at this particular festival, and his sleazy remarks towards me- it comes as no shock that i felt completely intimidated.
At this same festival, i woke up in the morning to find two men, both considerably older than me, sitting in the entrance to our tent (which they must have opened themselves). One of the men was groping my thighs and stroking my legs in a sexually threatening way- saying "i'd love to wake up to these legs". Feeling utterly repelled, i responded with a look of clear disgust and told him to 'get off'. He had the audacity to look shocked and offended at my remark, saying "oooohhhh she didn't like THAT!!" and asking me if i was a lesbian. I don't know how you are supposed to respond when you wake up to a complete stranger touching you *WHILE YOU SLEEP* without you even vaguely hinting towards wanting any attention.
In the next situation i am about to outline, i didn't feel threatened, but i think it is a horrific demonstration of how social conditioning from acts as a catalyst for the objectification and street harassment of women. I was walking home from sixth form, when a group of boys ranging from the ages of about 9-10, shouted sexual remarks at me- outlining what they were 'going to do to me'. Shocking. These are CHILDREN. Evidently then, they did not actually intend or even desire what they shouted at me. Clearly then, these kids have watched this behaviour in older men and copied it, influenced by the pervasive objectification of women as 'things to hurl abuse at'- not fully understanding the meaning of their behaviour. It's a vicious cycle- the observable harassment of women permeating the minds of young boys and presenting itself as acceptable.
My Dad explained to me that he did not realise or comprehend the impact of 'normal' street harassment towards women, until he was approached in exactly the same way by a group of gay men- all bigger than him- and he was put in the vulnerable situation that women find themselves in every day. Unwanted sexual advances like this are NOT compliments. They are THREATENING, INTIMIDATING and DEGRADING.

I come from Honduras, and now I am living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. It was the first day of college when we had the second class of the first day. Then a guy who later on wanted to date me, said that the first thing he saw of me, was that i was pretty, and he liked my body. That was the very only reason why he wanted to get to know me.
Later on when I heard that i was like how dare you? You saw me as an object you didn't even ask my name first, or wanted to get to know who I am as person before you already decided you wanted to date me because of my body?

Waiting for the bus at Gov't Square. Some guy in a red sports car stops at the light, opens the door, and tells me (and/or the young woman sitting next to me) to get in. We both ignore him.

As I was leaving a grueling and wonderful dance class, a group of four construction workers nearby whistled and catcalled. I was dripping sweat and still in my leotard and jazz pants. I decided to challenge their ignorance, and said, "Listen, I'm an athlete; I've been knocking myself out for almost 2 hours perfecting something that's really difficult. Show some respect and stop that!". They applauded and one guy said "Right on", and shook my hand.
To this day, I don't know if it was the right thing to do, or if it made them think seriously about their behavior, but I was glad I'd done it.

The institute where I study is about ten minutes away from my house. I've been attending that institute for two months with no problems until two weeks ago. A couple of weeks ago a building started to be constructed near by my house and institute, so every morning when I leave (about 7:45am) I meet with the men that are working in the site. The harassment started with a man calling me beautiful, it may not be offensive, but I was alone and they were in a group, he is a man in his late forties and I'm a nineteen-year-old girl. I started seeing the men every morning, and it went from being an uncomfortable situation to me becoming frightened when this same guy came close to my face one day and whispered "she is so beautiful". I felt scared and disgusted and couldn't concentrate in my classes for the rest of the day. I told my mom about it, trying not to make it sound like a big deal and said that I was simply going to change routes. She agreed and asked me to text her when I arrived. The day that I changed routes, I thought I had finally found the solution and as I was entering the institute, someone from across the street yelled at me "Hey Beautiful", it was him again. I texted my mom, and after she talked with my father, he drives me every day to school now. My parents said they wanted me to and could tell the police I was being harassed daily by the same guy. The problem is I never had the guts to look at his face.

Man at airport drop off was drunk, grabbing his genitals, and hit on me with invasive and inappropriate questions. Attempted to open my car while I wasn't in it. Airport security responded very quickly and took him away.
I walk 2.5 miles home from work almost everyday and there is a man in a white, unmarked work van who passes me each day, driving in either direction. He has yelled everything from "Nice ASS!" "Check out them TITS!" to "Hey I'm talking to you bitch!" Since he passes around the same time everyday, and has been seen driving in both directions, I have reason to believe he drives up and down that section of road looking for me. I have no other route to take home.

I pulled up to the gas station on the corner of Dundonald and Smythe streets in Fredericton, NB, Canada. I realized that the pump I was at was debit-only, so I returned to my car. While I was bent down looking for my debit card, I heard a man yell from a passing car "Yeah bitch you bend over!" It happened so fast I have no idea what the man looked like.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Zen Vegetarian Cuisine
by avyrocks
Review: I am not usually a fan of Chinese food, but as a vegetarian, I was curious as to the options in Wichita. I was not disappointed! Since my first visit, I've brought the rest of my family-including my sister, who DESPISES trying anything new- and she absolutely loved it, much to her embarrassment! (No one let her forget the "I don't want to eat weird vegetarian food!") Point in case, my entire family loves the food, and my special favorite is the Zen Sushi Platter, which, of course, contains no real sushi but is delicious all the same! Also, another great feature is the fruit plate, which always has beautifully fresh fare! Thanks Zen's for gracing my tongue with your wonderful splendor!!!

Giving birth is one of the most extraordinary experiences of a woman's life. Yet after all the months of careful preparation and anticipation, the moment of birth is almost never what you had expected. Your health, the condition of the fetus, and the policies of the hospital will all help determine what actually happens. What matters is that the baby is here at last and healthy.
If you are a new mother odds are you have encountered the hard-to-explain bouts of sadness or feeling "down" that seem to arrive soon after the delivery of your baby. It's often called the "baby blues," and it affects between 70 percent and 80 percent of all new mothers.
